Thanks for the comment! I definitely agree that listing relevant resources would be useful, as would allowing people to collaborate on that, and in fact weāve already done so! The links to relevant resources can be found in the Google docs linked to in each place where it says āSee here for notes and links related to these topics.ā
Iād definitely encourage people to comment on those Google docs to suggest additional resources, questions, points about implications, etc.
I hadnāt really thought of making this overview article itself an editable Google doc, but it seems possible thatād be useful, so hereās the link to what was the draft of this post. People can feel free to continue to make comments there (or here), and I may make some changes to this post in response.
Did you have something different/āmore than that in mind when you said āhaving this put into a Google Doc and inviting people to collaborate on a more comprehensive overall long-termist research agenda documentā?
Also, as more general points:
I definitely imagine there could be useful further collaborations building off this project (beyond just suggesting more resources and questions). And Iād guess that I and/āor Convergence would be happy with to work/ātalk with people on that (though Iām not speaking for Convergence when I say that).

I actually already had a link to your paper in the Google doc section on naturally arising pandemics. Though I didnāt have the Snyder-Beattie paper there, so thanks for mentioning thatāIāve now added it.

I think making collaboratively editable Google docs of things is often a great move (this was part of the motivation for my central directory of open research questions and my database of existential risk estimates)
